Issues in Forensic Psychology No 7: Readiness for treatment

Quick Overview

This edition presents a collection of papers that are at the cutting edge of thinking and practice in the area of readiness for treatment. Funding made available by the British Psychological Society, through the Research Seminars Competition 2005, enabled professionals from a range of agencies and from three continents to work together and discuss their theorising, practice and research, and to further their thinking in this little-researched area.

The papers represent work from the perspectives of psychiatry, forensic and clinical psychology, psychotherapy and art therapy. The authors work variously in the Prison Service, the National Health Service and academia and reflect work being done in Canada and Australia as well as the UK.
